I’ve written on WordPress since Andrew was born- 15 years! Blogging has my heart. When my babies were babies, I avoided social media because I wanted to be fully present. They’d go to bed, and I would read blogs and write my own. It was a way to keep our families updated on our lives. […]
I snapped this picture one fall between the change of seasons. It made me reflect on the seasonality of life.
These three trees represent distinct seasons, all beautiful in their own right. As one tree stands naked, it is ready for a season of rest and preparation to carry its new leaves. As one tree stands tall and vibrant, it glories in its beauty and blesses all who stop to notice. Yet, it prepares to release its leaves as it journeys into the next phase of life. And the evergreen. It doesn’t hold quite the seasonality of its friends, but it’s a constant steadiness and reminder that regardless of the season, beauty and goodness remain. In the harshest of winter, this evergreen remains unwavering. In fact, when the world around it is covered in snow, I appreciate the beauty of the evergreen more than any other time.

It’s a controversial topic in the christian world. It’s a topic I receive an enormous amount of negative response on. People naturally become very defensive. With that being said, this article is not for everyone. I’m not sharing for debate. I settled this 16 years ago with the Lord and have never regretted my decision. Should Christians celebrate Halloween? What does the Bible have to say about Halloween? Shouldn’t we use it as an outreach? If you have questioned your decision to participate in Halloween as a believer, I invite you to read the rest of this post. If you feel total peace and don’t care to hear anymore on this topic, feel free to skip this one. Regardless of your position, I love you. I don’t stand in judgement. I’m simply sharing my views and journey.
